I had a sense that most adults were miserable when I was a child. Now I'm old and my hunch has been confirmed.
Lyrics
You were making zombie faces off o-pee-kuh lake
adorned with muck and muddy water
I had smeared on your arms and face (for goodness sake!)
your mother's opprobrious glare screamed "STOP right now, or people will stare!" then -- unbeknownst to you, it zoomed in: BOOM! gloom & doom! discomfitted, and perpetually scared.
chronobiology couldn't explain, but the cadence of cicadas caused a phasing of circadian waves
and you wondered if you could ever goof around again or if you're gonna hafta behave
from now on, respectable citizen upright brave-face'd on parade
so we took your toy trowel to go ditch-digging didn't know she dumped you in it like a grave
now you're high-stepping over sprinkler streams
deeming it too immature to take a leap in the leaves and
won't deign to dirty jobs with rolled-up sleeves, shun the shimmy-up-the-shingle fun of dangling from the eaves,u like to deceive your health of self-esteem, seen you dive from cameras like they were a swarm of bees, oh
seems only shoveling you sertraline can make you unabashadly scream cheese (*CHEEEESE!)
kay maganda! maaga pa! sige na! gawin mo na! tara! bahala na! puso ng pusa!
Do you remember what we promised under Paul's back deck?
how -- if we saw each other sunk to ignominious depths
and could not spazz out just like mongoloids without regret --
then we'd officially amounted out to abject wrecks
and any artificial antidote that made us undress
out of the costumes we'd been wearing (that are soaking with sweat)
would then be met with consequences of a bloody death
and there'd be no chance of repreival for the stink of our breath?
Well,i think we overlooked something quite important then
about the purpose of a person that you call your friend
and -- although we get so frustrated that we can't make amends
no one's incorrigible I just need a cordial way to tell you..
back when we made zombie faces off o-pee-kuh lake
we both were so mad at your mother and that was our mistake 'cause
what we did not know was years ago the undead already ate her brain!
and now you're groaning like a grown up!
